Your Weekly Horoscope By Element: July 30 - August 5, 2012
by Elizabeth Joyce
WEEKLY UPDATE
Mercury is retrograde through August 8th. During the retrograde period it’s okay to continue with plans you’ve made prior, but not a great time to initiate new money ventures. No matter what, it’s never a good time to sign on the dotted line or you may wind up having to renegotiate terms later. If it’s worth it, it will wait. Because we are now in the second half of Mercury retrograde, it is a good time to do behind the scenes planning for future projects. Remember that your heart, creativity, and generosity must be involved in projects as you will not have much enthusiasm for projects your heart is not into!
After a month of ups and downs, the stars are coming together to give July a royal send-off! And what better way to kick off this cosmic jubilee than with the strong and energetic Leo Sun at the helm? On July 28, the move-at-its-own-speed Leo Sun gets a jolt of energy when it partners with quick-witted Mercury. You'll have to make decisions on the fly, but at least this combination will ensure you make the right ones! Admittedly, you may run into no shortage of people overflowing with hot air, but they'll simply add to the day's entertainment value.
The sociable Aquarius Full Moon on Wednesday night, August 1st, sets the tone for a fun and friendly week. Generous Jupiter joins the party with favorable aspects to the Sun and Moon, inspiring curiosity in different kinds of people and encouraging openness to a variety of experiences. On Friday morning, there's a subtle shift from cool to cuddly when the Moon slips into imaginative Pisces, giving dreamy permission for romance to override reality. Of course, the Leo Sun isn't willing to give up the spotlight after just one performance! On July 31st, it again assumes center stage when it pairs with feisty Uranus, sending you right out of your rut and into something new! Scary as it may seem, taking a risk today, even a small one, will lead to exciting new opportunities in the very near future. So, take a deep breath, close your eyes and make that leap! Also on July 31st, Venus and Saturn work their magic to bestow you with charm and practicality, creating a perfect setting for people in your workplace to recognize just how brilliant you are!
August begins with a Full Moon at 8:27 PM PDT. The elements Fire and Air are very strong now. Given that it has been a difficult fire season already, this combination does not offer much help to fire ravaged regions. On a happier note, fire represents creativity and passion. Air is associated with ideas, communications and social interactions. During the next two weeks, begin to put your ideas into a long-term action plan. You benefit by meeting new people, exploring new groups or traveling to locations that free your mind. Expansive Jupiter is aligned with the star Aldebaran now. This energy represents success, but you are challenged to stick to a strong moral high ground through integrity and purity. With optimistic Jupiter combined in this picture, you must take a risk on yourself to go to a much higher level of expression.
It is a pleasant week overall, and the weekend is under the influence of a gentle Pisces moon. Spiritual activities, music and visiting watery places are favored.
The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
This is a positive and upbeat week for you in which much can happen out of the blue. Things move at a fast pace. Thoughts get translated into action like lightning. Getting into the zone should be easy, especially around Monday. You're usually known as a mover and shaker, but someone else could give you the idea that motivates you to action. Perhaps you and another discover that you can make beautiful music together. Explore fresh possibilities. Socializing could be rewarding. A meeting could be fun, lively, and edgy enough to move you out of your comfort zone. Someone may inspire you to do more, go further, and explore unfamiliar ideas. You might be more businesslike with your affections on Tuesday, which may not be such a bad thing. But you'll certainly get a blast from the midweek Full Moon as it encourages you to explore new ideas and options. Be bold! The midweek Full Moon in Aquarius could bring romantic action or heighten the feelings you have for your latest lover or date. Make sure you don't do anything on the spur of the moment that you'll regret later. You could get carried away. The Full Moon midweek could bring feelings into the open.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:
Visions of faraway places add spice to your relationship life now. An incredibly insightful Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st will be stretching your social horizons. Staying cool and calm isn't easy this week with a super energized Full Moon on Wednesday. If you're not happy with your relationship life now, you are ready to make an impulsive move. It's fine to take some risks as long as you're sensitive enough to back off if you're heading in a dangerous direction. Getting noticed comes easily now, but don't act out simply for shock value since that kind of attention is not likely to last very long. Consider your audience before you speak from your heart. Amorous feelings are on the rise. Yet this emotional event can push you to extremes with moments of unbridled confidence interspersed with significant self-doubt. Break through your old patterns by taking some chances when expressing yourself. It's healthier to follow your own creative impulses now than to be overly concerned about how others might react. Expansive Jupiter in Gemini supports this lunar event, encouraging your clever ideas and enhancing your gift of gab. Still, less words and more emotion is a better strategy for achieving intimacy if you are hoping to connect romantically over the weekend.
The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:
Supporting friends in need or working for a worthy cause may not sound sexy, but builds a network of trust this week that pays big dividends later on.

This could be a breakthrough week in romantic matters thanks to Wednesday's quirky Aquarius Full Moon brightening your Partnerships. Unexpected events or surprising interactions could challenge your ideas about who and what you need to make you happy.

This high-energy lunar event makes it easy to strike up conversations in the course of your daily activities.

Let yourself have fun exploring a different look and attitude, which can reignite your relationship life in a delightful way.
The Earth Signs

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:
Expect plenty of positive attention with Wednesday's innovative Aquarius Full Moon shining, putting the interests of others before your own.
